	You misspelled The Royal Tenenbaums when you listed Paste Magazine's picks. I like the critics you chose for this. The fact that none of them chose Crash as one of the ten best movies of the decade speaks to their credibility.

	nwaldrip:	Jan 4th, 2010 at 17:56 GMT	1 point
	good quiz. The Lord of the Rings answers were a little weird? I typed "LOTR" and the trilogy answers popped up. Seems like I shouldn't have to type the individual ones too. Just a thought. And I'm suprised how many times "Eternal sunshine..." was answered.

	knoxvillian:	Jan 4th, 2010 at 18:01 GMT	2 points
	The thing about Lord of the Rings was that some of the sources just said "the entire Trilogy" while other sources listed individual films from the series. I wasn't sure if I should just accept all Lord of the Rings films as one thing or if I should keep them separate. In the end, I went with separate since Metacritic and Moviefone singled out Return of the King and Fellowship of the Ring but left off the Two Towers. But I'm open to changing.

	ludicrousspeedgo:	Jan 4th, 2010 at 18:36 GMT	2 points
	Good quiz. Apparently I do not see very many films.

	PublicEnemy:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 13:25 GMT	0 points
	Good quiz. No Country For Old Men rocks!

	LTH:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 13:59 GMT	3 points
	Of all these lists, I'd probably agree with Film Drunk the most, only Borat needs to be replaced with the LOTR Trilogy. Even if you're a Borat fan, it certainly was not one of the best films of the decade. And how in the world did AI make it onto one of these lists??

	pita:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 15:50 GMT	1 point
	Misread LTH's comment, agree that Borat has no place here.

	baseball4825:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 16:23 GMT	3 points
	The people at the Times of London must have only seen 10 movies last decade, I can't think of any other way Team America made their list.

	buppyspek:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 17:49 GMT	4 points
	AI? Really? New York Times, I'm so disappointed in you.

	lucyinthesky9:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 19:48 GMT	4 points
	With the LOTR thing; i understand why you took just 'lord of the rings' but if you are going to do that you might want to consider just taking 'harry potter' for 'harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban' considering that i put in lord of the rings and got the trilogy and specific movies, i thought that if i put in harry potter it would also do the same thing. just an idea. really enjoyed the quiz. thanks for the effort you put into making it.

	bluntforcetrauma:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 20:31 GMT	0 points
	are these in order?

	thebirdgirl:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 21:15 GMT	2 points
	More than a few odd choices (AI? Borat? Team America? Zodiac? Gosford Park?)! But a fun quiz for sure. It turns out that I am really bad at remembering who directed movies I liked!

	redsxfenway:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 22:50 GMT	1 point
	@Fidelio: I hope you mean it's a good thing Crash wasn't on their lists.

	You should consider accepting "'Harry Potter 3" as an answer. That is the convention used by most movie quizzes on this site. I was happy to see City of God and Children of Men appear more than once. I was surprised that The Lives of Others was only on one list. As for Team America and Borat? Well, some critics just like to throw in "Hey, I'm cool and still in touch with the kiddies" picks.

	amehta:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 03:04 GMT	3 points
	GREAT! but add roger ebert. and make it accept harry potter

	knoxvillian:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 12:06 GMT	1 point
	@bluntforcetrauma: Yes, these are in order, so the top film listed was the #1 film on that list. @amehta: I couldn't find a best of the decade list for Roger Ebert, or he certainly would've gone up. And I've fixed the Harry Potter thing.

	http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/12/the_best_films_of_the_decade.html If you want to add it :)

	Funny how some critics' choices have you nodding in agreement while others have you wondering "What's he smoking?" Fun way to look back on the decade, though, and a very good way of handling this sort of quiz.

	movielover94:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 04:46 GMT	1 point
	Hey. Great Quiz, but according to IMDb, you got the spelling wrong on Synecdoche, New York. There's no h.

	movielover94:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 04:46 GMT	2 points
	And Almost Famous was made in 2000, not 2002

	Good fun. Thanks!

	ilovekelly75:	Nov 18th, 2011 at 04:34 GMT	1 point
	Brokeback Mountain, Slumdog Millionaire, LOTR, and Memento were awesome! But only one person for United 93, and no one for The Hours or Revolutionary Road? Great quiz though!
